You can see the play at 2:20 on this video -
Ramsey is lined up about 6 yards off the LOS.....on the snap he stands there flat footed until Sanders runs right by him....he literally doesn't move his feet at all until Sanders is past him....he's supposed to be in trail position.....but he was left in the dust because he was loafing. Rapp may have screwed up, but Ramsey could have stayed much closer to Sanders by just trying.....he ended up only 5 yards behind him even after standing there flat footed at the beginning of the play.
Ramsey has elite ability, but his effort needs to match his ability....and he shouldn't be throwing anybody under the bus with a half-assed effort like that.
Makes you wonder how much effort he'll give when he's getting elite money.
There's no question Rapp blew it. AND, presumably, Rapp was the over-the-top "bracket" on Sanders. RAMSEY had the underneath.
Garoppolo vs pressured big time, but Ramsey was "trailing" so badly that he couldn't recover even on the badly under thrown ball. I think his postgame comments were a major case of CYA.
